YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE! What are some of your favorite Scentsy mini warmers? How do you use them in your home? Which have you found to be good performers? ❤️💕

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

My best mini warmer performers are the Chasing Fireflies, Hope & Peace, & Butterfly Season. I also get good performance from my Lumina white pumpkin mini but the dish is super shallow, you can only get away with 1 cube of wax with that one. I just picked up the So Very Thankful and Spirit of Joy mini's in the flash sale and haven't used them yet because they're seasonal, but they're both unglazed ceramics so I know they'll be amazing! I have Sage Advice and the Gatsby glass mini's and they're gorgeous but don't melt wax well at all so I just use them for nightlights. Hope that info is helpful for someone and just want to wish all the Mama's a Happy Mother's Day! 🥰❤

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@BarsBrickswithBrandi Brandi, this is such great information, THANK YOU!! Those are mostly all warmers I haven't tried, so it's lovely to hear your experience. It does sound consistent from the comments here that the unglazed ceramics are the performance stars, but that we are happy to find other uses for the beautiful glass warmers. Thank you so much for sharing this much detail, Brandi, and it think it will really help others!! ❤️🤗🥰

[@barsandbuddies]

My best mini warmers are my Pumpkin Spice ceramic and my Midnight Tide glass mini warmers. Midnight Tide is very hot, it melts the colour off my blue bulbs!! My worst performing one is the To All a Good Night Christmas mini, it doesn't get nearly as hot, I have no idea why! But I love it anyway because it's so cute! 😊

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@barsandbuddies wow, Meg, that's wild about the Midnight Tide! I agree that To All A Good Night is so adorable that it gets a pass.🤣 I have quite a few that I love just for their appearance and seldom put wax in. Now I think I may need to get Midnight Tide. ❤️🤗

[@barsandbuddies]

@@amysscentsandsongs Yes, I'm glad I grabbed To All a Good Night from clearance, otherwise I would have been more disappointed. I also love my Light from Within and Lit with Love minis, they are a little less powerful than Midnight Tide but still great and SO pretty! I have a blue bulb in mine like you do, the blue bulbs are my favourite!

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@Acadia_Territory, I can see your comment in my notifications but not here for some reason... Thank you so much for watching! I am a Leafs fan because in my job, I had so many Canadian colleagues who were rabid followers, and I had to listen to them for several decades. So I caught the bug - I really had no choice. 🍁❤️

I felt like I had to come on one more time and give you an update. Since you were the one who taught me all I know about mini warmers.🌺 My Bee Happy arrived around lunchtime today. I got it set up on its stand soon after and threw in a bar cube of Salted Caramel Toffee soon after. It's been running a couple of hours now. It's my first mini ever, but I'm just in love with it already and the whole idea of minis. It's throwing more than well enough for me as I am so near it when I work. And I do find, as I expected, that having a nice relaxing scent near me does help me to work even better Although of course I literally have nothing to compare it to, my Bee Happy seems to be a great performer to me.🙂 Love mine! Thank you again for all your input and help ,

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Barbara! I'm so happy this is working out for you. I love the Bee Happy mini warmer because I love anything to do with bees and it's so charming. I'm really happy that the throw is working for you while you work. I agree, a beautiful scent can just put us in a much calmer state of mind - and if that helps us to work better, then it's a great thing! Thank you so much my friend for the update, you really made my afternoon thinking of you working away near your pretty bee warmer. Take care!! 🐝💕🐝💕🐝❤️🤗

[@susanfitzpatrick3369]

Great video Amy, loved hearing your thoughts and seeing all your beautiful mini warmers….. 💕❤️😘

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you Susan! The collection shows no signs of slowing down - these little guys are so versatile and draw me like a magnet. Thanks for watching sweet friend! 💕🥰

[@BarbaraC147]

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it.🙂 I have a number of Scentsy full size warmers but have never had a mini. I did just order my first though (the Bee Happy one, with the desktop stand) I have a lot to learn about minis and your video did really help. I think mine will throw far enough for me. I got it because I'm working at home for now and don't have much room for a big warmer on the desk. The mini should fit perfectly I don't really need it to fill the room. As long as I can smell it while working, I'm fine with that. And I'll be less than a foot away from the warmer. So I'm pretty sure all will be fine. I know a beautiful scent will help me be my relaxed best at work. And the cute little "Bee Happy" message doesn't hurt either..🙂

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Barbara! Oh, that sounds perfect. If you are sitting so close, you should definitely be able to smell it, and it won't overwhelm you as a big warmer might at that distance. I'm a big lover of bees so I applaud your choice. 🐝🐝🐝 Take care friend and thanks for watching! 🥰🤗❤️

[@suselew]

Awesome video! You've sold me on that Wildlife Mini Warmer. I'll have to grab that on my next party.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you Susan! That one also has glistening little snowflakes that don't show up well in pictures or in the video, but are lovely in person even when the warmer is unlit. That one gives so much lovely ambience. ❤️🥰

[@monicaruiz1310]

Thank you for this video Amy! Blessings

[@amysscentsandsongs]

You are welcome, Monica! Thank you for watching and have a wonderful weekend! ❤️🥰

[@AlexandraWaxwithAlex]

Thank you for all those tips Amy! I absolutely love playing with the coloured bulbs in all my warmers. It can completely change the feel of the warmer it make it better for certain locations - I agree! 😄

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Alex! Patricia Gaetz is the first person I saw do that and it truly does give warmers multiple lives. I'm glad to hear you enjoy doing that as well! ❤️🥰

[@bernardo1969bs]

Great video and so informative. New subscriber and thank you. Have a Blessed One. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻

Hello Bernardo! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching friend! ❤️

[@corngirl101]

What a great video, thanks so much

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Aww Jenny, thank you so much! Have a lovely rest of the weekend! ❤️🥰

[@BarsBrickswithBrandi]

Amy! I love this idea of Thursday Thoughts! 🥳🎉🙌❤ What a great idea and you provided so much helpful information! The unglazed ceramics are my favourites too. I do have a couple of glass warmers that are absolutely gorgeous but they don't melt wax well so I use them for nightlights. Loved this so much and looking forward to more Thursday Thoughts from you! ❤

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Brandi, you are just the sweetest, thank you so much! Yes same with my glass warmers, but they get a pass because they're so beautiful, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed this, thanks again and have a beautiful rest of your weekend! ❤️🥰

[@barsandbuddies]

This is great! I love all my mini warmers, I have more minis than full sized for sure! They work great for me because I like my scents lighter anyway! Win-win! ❤️

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Meg!! See that's perfect for folks who prefer a lighter scenting. I agree with you - I really don't want the scent so strong that I can't think about anything else. I'm glad they're working well for you. I adore the mini warmers, as I guess you can tell. Thanks a lot for watching!! ❤️💕🤗

[@jackiebeardsley9430]

Great video! I picked up the Etched Core mini warmer in the flash sale and it is a pretty good performer. I always use my mini warmers in a tabletop base in our smaller bathroom. I also love the Spirit of Joy mini warmer with the blue bulb for after the holidays and through the end of winter. Have a great week! 😊

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thanks Jackie! I'm kicking myself for not picking up that Etched Core mini in the flash sale - glad to hear it performs well for you. You know, it took me forever to try out the tabletop bases and it opened up a whole world of possibilities for warmer placement. Oh, Spirit of Joy with a blue bulb must be stunning! I hope you have a peaceful weekend!❤️🥰

[@JourneyingwithLaura]

Great video, Amy! I have several of those same mini warmers and I agree with your assessment that the unglazed ceramic “throw” the best. I am jealous of that brown owl - I have never seen that! I have the mini Whoot which performs very well.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hello Laura and thank you! I am going to need to pick up mini Whoot because he is adorable. Also with the unglazed ceramics, we can really play with the colors - although the white effect is also so pure and lovely. ❤️🥰

[@carrieshavingameltdown]

Great video! My favorite is the etched core mini warmer. Kicking myself for not getting more in the flash sale. Great performance. I agree that the unglazed ceramic preforms the best.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thanks Carrie! Why, why did I not pick up the etched core mini in the sale?? I'm glad you're enjoying it! It didn't hit me that the unglazed ceramics were the best performers until a few months ago. Thanks for watching sweet friend! ❤️🥰

[@lindah_home_and_scents]

What a great idea for a video! I have several mini warmers. I usually pair the mini with it’s full size big sister if I have both. I tend to gravitate to ceramic & often white. I loved the Spirit of Joy warmer at Christmas & my mini house Take Me Home in the winter months. I use a tabletop base for that one. I have the Etched Core,Salerno, little Whoot all ceramic - they all do well considering the wattage. I’m like you it’s often more about the ambiance than throw. I love your little wildlife mini on a base - I’m going to copy you on that.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thanks a lot Linda! Oh, how lovely to pair the matching set - how did that never occur to me? You have some lovely warmers - I've had my eye on that Salerno for awhile. The little wildlife mini was a surprise to me - the catalog picture just doesn't do it justice, as is often the case. ❤️🥰

[@jillj5544]

This is really good information. 👏🏼 Thank you for sharing. I’ve been eyeing the gabsy (Art Deco) one for awhile now. Also love the deer..

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you Jill! The Gatsby is one of my favorites - I love art deco and the way the glass shines in that one is just stunning. Not a stellar performer but it takes my breath away every time and I put it in a prominent position in my home where I can see it. ❤️🥰

[@rachelod9575]

What a lovely stash you have, Amy. Thanks for sharing it. My favourite mw is a partially glazed bright yellow one (You Are My Sunshine) that I picked up on a whim in a sale last year; it just makes me smile. Most disappointing performer is the beautiful Holy Night from 2021 Christmas: stunning to look at but the glass just loses too much heat to be effective. I love your deer in the forest mw with the coloured bulbs.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you, Rachel! I had forgotten what You Are My Sunshine looked like - that is a lovely color, happy to hear it performs well too. Agree that Holy Night is not a strong performer - although I still find it so pretty. I'm like a kid with the colored bulbs. Thank you for watching friend! ❤️🥰

[@BarbaraC147]

Wanted to add in I also just ordered the Tea Rose mini warmer. Same thing, to be used on my desk near me while working,, sitting on on the warmer stand. I really prefer them with the stand personally. Although I am still waiting for them both to arrive What I did this time though was order the red, the blue and the purple bulbs for my Tea Rose warmer. I am imagining it's going to look stunning in those colours.🙂

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Barbara I think you'll really enjoy that one! It's a great performer and you know I'm a fan of the different colored light bulbs - they really change the whole effect. 🎉🥰🤗

[@BarbaraC147]

@@amysscentsandsongs Thanks! So excited to receive my 2 minis that are on their way to me One question for you, about bricks.🙂 I normally use 1/2 a brick cube in my regular warmers. Is 1/4 of a brick cube a good size for a mini? Thanks🌺

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@BarbaraC147 Barbara, as with the regular bars, the brick cubes are not all the same size, and with the heftier ones in the middle, I think that a quarter might be too much for a mini warmer... The smaller cubes in the bottom corners, though, might work for a quarter in a mini warmer. I'm not sure that was my best English but you know what I mean, lol! 🥰❤️

[@BarbaraC147]

@@amysscentsandsongs Thank you!!! What I think I will do with the bricks then, to be sure, is to just cut the smaller cubes into quarters for my minis, and cut the rest in halves for my full size warmers. Or if I really need more for the minis, I could then cut one of the halves of the larger cubes into 3 pieces = 1/6 of a cube each. It that makes sense, may not have explained that well. 🙂 That ought to work.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@BarbaraC147 that does make sense and I think it will work well, especially for some of the mini warmers with the really tiny bowls. I'm never quite sure what to do with those! 🤣❤️

[@jessimcleod17]

Great video Amy! I love seeing all of the minis. 💡 Those tabletop bases are wonderful for those of us lacking higher up outlets…and having cats 😂 I have the Daisy mini on the bookshelf at the entrance to our bedroom and she has a nice throw if you’re walking in or out of the doorway. Also I LOVE the set of drawers behind you! Blue is my favorite color too. And do I gather you’re a fellow May baby? 🎂 Thank you for sharing friend! 💜

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you so much Jessi! It took me so long to try out the tabletop bases and now I love them. Good point about pets and lower plugs! That Daisy mini is so pretty and what a great idea to place her near the doorway! Aww thanks, the dresser is from the 1950's and was refinished and painted by a local lady. There is a matching end table and I love them so much. Blue is so restful, isn't it? And yes - looks like we are both Taurus 🐂! Thanks a lot for watching Jessi and have a beautiful weekend! ❤️🥰

[@cindyv5093]

Hi Amy! WHOCOOKSFORYOU!!! < too cute! I love the way the coloured bulbs change the look of the mini warmer. I haven’t tried that. YET! I use mini warmers in the Bathrooms, in my Office, on the desk, and as a night light at the top of the stairs! I LOVE them!

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Cindy! Ha, I love all the owls so much and listening to their calls, and the juveniles trying to get the sounds right. 🦉🥺💕 How perfect to put one at the top of the stairs as a nightlight - and on your desk, I hadn't thought of that but your Tea Rose is a perfect example. Thank you for the great ideas friend! ❤️🥰

[@KarasScents]

Loved this video, Amy! I have a weakness for the mini warmers also. I have so many and enjoy changing them out. The ceramics are the best for sure as “performers”, but some of the glass are so pretty, I make room for them too. You have some great ones- love the Batman! Thanks for sharing!

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Thank you Kara! I agree, some of the glass ones are so beautiful to look at that for me, performance is secondary. Which is one of your favorites? ❤️🥰

[@KarasScents]

@@amysscentsandsongs That’s a tough one- 🤔. I have one called Plumage from way back that’s probably my all time favorite. My recent favorite is the Salerno mini, and I love my Jack Skellington mini also!

[@amysscentsandsongs]

@@KarasScents ohhhh I looked up Plumage, absolutely beautiful! As for Jack Skellington - they've totally got me. Anything with Jack goes immediately into my cart. A kindred spirit! ❤️🎃❤️ I have my eye on Salerno. 💕🥰

[@carriewebster1508]

How does the wildlife warmer throw? I heard someone say it doesn’t melt wax good.

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Carrie! I love the wildlife warmer for its aesthetics and soft glow. As a glass warmer, it melts less well than the ceramics, so I use just a small amount of wax in it. Thanks for watching. ❤

[@ashleighpowell9285]

Hi Amy, do you think the Cinderella mini warmer would be a good warmer?

[@amysscentsandsongs]

Hi Ashleigh! I'm sorry to be slow to respond, as I was waiting for an answer from a customer who has this warmer. She says it is an excellent warmer and throws as well as her full size ones, which she says is unusual because most of her minis tend to throw less well. She says it's important not to overload it with wax, as in maximum one cube, but then it does brilliantly. So that's good news for this warmer!!

[@ashleighpowell9285]

@@amysscentsandsongs thanks so much. I will be purchasing it now.
